“Our legal team is reviewing the ad. In general, companies not affiliated with the NFL or its clubs may not depict a player in his uniform” said McCarthy.

The Bears said they are “troubled” by Wright’s usage and believe it’s an inappropriate use of their logo, so they alerted the league about it. They pointed out that sometimes players are unaware their images are used in such events, but ABC-7 calls Wright a “fixture” of the Miami party scene. Rookies like Daniel Thomas and Corey Liuget were also in the ad.

The event was billed as the official launch party for the Expo, which will take place in the Chicago area in July. It’s said to be the world’s largest gathering of porn stars in the world.

We know the NFL is losing advertisers because of the lockout, so perhaps they should embrace this as an opportunity.

So, are the players in trouble? Is this just a way to bash a few players or what? I mean, this article leads you to believe these players posed in their uniforms for this ad…they didn’t! Anyone could have used the pics that were used, pics of these guys playing in a game…This is ridiculous, and bashing these guys saying they have no class is just plain ignorant!

“It’s said to be the world’s largest gathering of porn stars in the world.”

The world’s largest in the world?

Come on man!

Note that the pictures are stock photos and the players did not show up in their uniforms to pose for them.

As a Texans fan, I’m pretty sure Kareem “Play off the receiver by 10 yards every frickin’ play” Jackson will get a stern talkin’ to by Big Bob McNair. And maybe he’s just gettin’ that second career ready since cornerback jus’ ain’t workin’ out…….

What’s more successful (and American) than football and porn?

Wow. That is one of the most idiotic things ever posted on this site.

I remember when I was 8 when my dad took me to my first Pro Football game. I have been a fan ever since and football on Sundays is something we have shared for a long time. If porn was part of the equation, it would never have happened.

The NFL will cease being a tradition in my household should they take Greg’s pathetic advice.

I don’t know who holds the rights to those photos but if it’s the player, the NFL has no right to complain. Here’s an idea… end the lockout and maybe the players wouldnt need the money!

Bottom line, this is the deal…these cats are not only young in the game…but just plain young! It aint good look, being that they influence every rec team and high school team in the country….So you CANT intertwine that crap and the purest game of shear will on the planet. They didnt POSE for the pics, so find the moron who photo shopped them, and blast him one in the pocket!!! As far as the players …. dont feed your need for XXX in your uniform, only in the privacy of your own home (or hers)…lesson learned ~ keep it movin!

Unreal how stupid these guys and their agent’s are. Should know by now after watching sports their whole lives you cannot duplicate images without written consent. Agents are ‘supposed’ to know what their clients are doing but I guess it only counts when it’s money out of their pockets. Bad enough it was in uniform but a porn extravaganza, breach of protected property rights is one thing, this just piles on as stupid.
